INTERVIEW
With
TRYGVE HAUGE
And
MARY FRANCES DEVINE HAUGEN
November 10, 1983
This is Anna Zellick visiting with the Haugens in their lovely home located
at Upper Spring Creek. It is very interesting to note that their sons, Bill
and Michael Haugen who own and manage the Haugen Construction Co. are fol­lowing
in the footsteps of their father and their eminent grandparents. On
the Haugen side, the boys are the grandsons of Jolm Haugen about whom we will
talk a little later. On their mother's side, they are the grandsons of the
designer and architect, W.S. Devine. It's interesting to note also that the
grandparents worked together. We will know more about each of them as
proceed with this interview.
Trgyve, it's very nice for me to be here this afternoon to talk about your
father, John Haugen. As a youngster, I remember well seeing him on many oc­casions
where he would be with your mother. They would be going in and out of
the grocery store. They were a lovely, stately, but unassuming couple whom every­one
liked and revered. Everyone in town knew that he was a contractor. Give
us some background information on your father. When did he come to Lewistown?
Haugen: He came to Lewistown in 1911, and started in the building business.
Zellick: Where did he come from?
Haugen: He came from Lillehammar, Norway.
Zellick: How did it happen that he came to Lewistown?
Haugen: He had a brother who came out here and homesteaded out at Kolin.
Zellick: What was his brother's name?
Haugen: Amond Megrund.
Zellick: So he homesteaded here. He obviously came here before 1911. Did he
